Mendes, a former two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler and the UFC's top-ranked featherweight, saw his impressive five-fight winning streak come to a halt when he suffered a unanimous-decision loss to longtime champ Jose Aldo at UFC 179. The bout garnered "Fight of the Night" honors, but it marked the second time Mendes has lost to Aldo in a featherweight title fight.

Lamas, a former NCAA Division III All-American wrestler who's ranked No. 3 at featherweight, has reeled off two straight wins since losing via unanimous decision to Aldo in his first title fight with the promotion at UFC 169. Lamas has since defeated Hacran Dias by unanimous decision and Dennis Bermudez by guillotine choke. Bermudez was riding a seven-fight winning streak heading into his fight with Lamas.

Green's eight-fight winning streak was snapped in his last fight, a unanimous-decision loss to Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night 57. The loss was Green's first in the UFC and his second under the Zuffa banner.

Masvidal, who has won each of his last three fights by unanimous decision, has prevailed in six of his last seven fights. He suffered his lone UFC loss to Rustam Khabilov at UFC Fight Night: Fight for the Troops.

Other bouts on the card include sixth-ranked featherweight Dustin Poirier vs. Diego Ferreira and lightweight contender Michael Chiesa vs. Mitch Clarke.
